I told him, I didn't have to prepare for anything like a normal rookie, because I never prepared, never had to think about it. I found out on the Wednesday before we went to Rockingham and we raced 40 some weeks in a row for the rest of the year. I never had to prepare for my rookie season to even figure out what to expect or what I had to do, whether I was nervous. I didn't know how much money I was making. I didn't know how many races I had to go to, I didn't have a contract. I didn't care.
It's a lot easier to lose the points than it is to gain the points. This Busch Series is tough and there will be somebody who will make a run at me sooner or later.
There needs to be a class on who's driving what.
I remember how emotional it was for everyone. It almost felt like a dream.
Can you blame him? It was plain as day. There is something different between having a beef with someone and taking a chance of getting someone hurt.
If you make a mistake at Turn 1, you're not going to lose a lap. That's a good change. I think all the improvements are really good.
If you're going to be the biggest star of the sport, step up and be the biggest supporter of the sport. I think they should take more responsibility of being the voice of our sport, being the voice in the garage for somebody to step up to if they have a question.
I didn't think they'd fix it. The throttle was hung wide open and they got it fixed, so I came back and got in it. It's disappointing, but what do you do?
We just have to put 10 more weeks together and get it going for next year. Everybody wanted to be in it, but we gave it everything we had and we'll just keep trying.

We would never be at the point we're at if his accident had never happened. Safety is incredible how fast it advanced.
We pretty much shot ourselves in the foot as usual.
If that wasn't Jeff Burton back there we probably would have had a wreck. His car was a little bit better for the first three or four laps (after a restart) and then we could get going.
There is a seven-year relationship here that first and foremost is the main priority. I have a lot of friends here ... it's something that we'll - it will be the first thing we try to work out.
